As Executive Presenter, Kyle will become the face of beIN SPORTS’ MENA English channels, leading its studio programming and coverage across beIN’s extensive portfolio of football rights. She is expected to make her first studio appearance on Saturday 29 August, presenting the Premier League clash between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.

Her experience at the highest level of football, combined with her broadcasting expertise and familiarity with beIN, makes her a valuable addition to our English-language team. We look forward to seeing Kaylyn lead our English-language coverage, bringing her insight and experience to viewers across the MENA region.”

Kaylyn Kyle said: “I’m excited to be returning to beIN SPORTS and taking on this new role as Executive Presenter. Having been part of the team during the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ makes returning to Doha particularly special. I look forward to working alongside the team once again, connecting with beIN SPORTS viewers across the region, and enjoying all that Qatar has to offer with my family.”
